MP3: 18000018018018401 and Hab - Who we are
When I said I was going to post mostly Finnish music this week, I said that fully knowing I would be posting a track to accompany today's interview with Håkan Lidbo on the new "Musik för främmande civilisationer"/"Music for alien civilizations" compilation. "Who we are" by 18000018018018401 and Hab is easily the most Earth-friendly of the tracks in that it's got a steady danceable beat and discernible samples of human voices spelling out some of the more negative aspects of humanity. It is, as the title clearly states, who we are, is it not? As for the rest of the record, Håkan isn't kidding when he says that many of the artists composed for an audience who might have an entirely different idea of what music is, if they even have music at all. While that might not make for an "enjoyable" listen in ways we are usually accustomed, it is, at the very least, interesting. So yeah, please check out the piece below and be sure to read the interview
